Chris,
If using on a non-gui system, you have to modify the following lines in
the file /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date:

pkgSkipList=kernel*;

pkgsToInstallNotUpdate=kernel;kernel-modules;

removeSkipList=kernel*;

You need to change those lines to:

pkgSkipList=;

pkgsToInstallNotUpdate=;

removeSkipList=;

Then rerun:

up2date -u

up2date....i noticed the kernel was released on april 22-2004

but when i just ran up2date the kernel wasnt listed...

the only thing i can think of is that i had to recompile my kernel
so my zip drive would work....could that be a problem in that
up2date cant  check for an updated kernel...cause when
i check this is what is returned from up2date

Fetching rpm headers...

Name                                    Version        Rel
----------------------------------------------------------

or

Fetching rpm headers...

Name                                    Version        Rel
----------------------------------------------------------
